Hello there
I have heard of this for years now, and I wish the public where made aware not to feed wild birds bread or cakes to wild birds - one is it messes with their bodies and two is they make a mess (poo) everywhere.

In Bedford there are signposts everywhere on the Embankment by the River telling the public not to feed wild geese or ducks bad bread, cakes etc.... The signposts are ignored. I have feed the Mute Swans... Swan pellets which can be bought in bird food catalogues, superstores, pet stores (it is getting easier to find it now) - it is common sense more than anything.
Anyone have issues with this problem in their area
Regards
Kathy
